| Greetings, true friends. | |
| Today I want to elaborate on the picture I shared on my glorious Facebook page the other day and it's regards to size and strength in a fight. | |
| And now keep in mind this is something I've seen on the interwebs for quite some time. | |
| You know these guys constantly saying like oh you know lifting weights won't make you better in a fight etc. | |
| This is not something I've ever heard in real life so keep that in mind this is not something anyone has told me in like any club I've been in or etc any MMA gym I've been in. | |
| So let's first of all say that skill beats size any day of the week. | |
| That is just how it is. | |
| However, what I would like you to take with from this video is an example. | |
| And we're gonna take a guy, we can call him the optimal lion of eternal testosterone. | |
| And we have two versions of this glorious individual. | |
| One who weighs 80 kilo, one who weighs 100 kilo, one who has a squat of 120 and one who has a squat of hopefully soon to be 240 at least. | |
| Now who do you think can generate the most power in his kicks? | |
| A squat of 120 or a squat of 240? | |
| Now obviously the guy who can squat 240 will have more power in his leg, more power to generate a very strong kick or knee, more power to control an opponent with his legs. | |
| That is quite obvious. | |
| Furthermore in regards to pure physics if you have if you can activate your whole body you get that twist of the hips and lean in with 100 kilo that will cause more damage than the same technique with 80 kilo. | |
| If you have more size and strength you can do more with that technique. | |
| Keep in mind a sound technique will always win. | |
| But if you want to be the best version of yourself, if you want to be the best warrior of the tribe or protector of the people or just you know everything like that then you will be better served by being stronger. | |
| Then there's also the case that when a guy gets strong enough there are certain things you can't do to him. | |
| I'm gonna take my good friend, the Abelian Bull, for example. | |
| Say, if he post heresy, turns on me, he would never do that, but if he does, and then I try to take an armbar on him. | |
| That wouldn't work, he's too strong, and I know that now. | |
| I put up a picture and you can't really see exactly how massive he is when you hug him. | |
| You cannot feel it, and I know that that wouldn't work. | |
| And sure as hell a lighter guy, a weaker guy than I wouldn't get an armbar on him either. | |
| That's just physically impossible because he's too strong. | |
| So even if you don't have any technique at all, that strength can save you from a lot of things. | |
| So my main point with this video is not to say that oh, you know, lift weights and get strong as fuck and that will make you an excellent fighter. | |
| No, that's not what I'm saying. | |
| What I'm saying is that if you have a sound technique, if you add strength to that, you will get more out of it. | |
| So if you have the technique already in place and then you have the strength to enhance that technique, then you're in a good position. | |
| And then also there are certain things that, you know, the more muscled and the more strong you are and the stronger you are, the better off you will fare in certain situations. | |
| So you can take such a thing as having a good abdominal structure. | |
| You will be able to take harder punches. | |
| If you have a strong neck, you will be able to take punches to the head also. | |
| And all these kind of things. | |
| If you get thrown on the street and if you're really well trained with a good back musculature, you will be able to land better. | |
| So you have all of these sort of benefits. | |
| And, you know, being fit and being strong will always be good in a physical confrontation. | |
| And also like a physical altercation in the street or wherever, it doesn't exactly look like an UFC fight either. | |
| So you can have like clothes on and then you have the grip strengths can be extremely important. | |
| Just be able to pull someone off. | |
| So if you have a gang of rape feuds attacking a woman or something, you know, that strength will help you tremendously. | |
| But to conclude, what I mean when I say this, like that you should train for strength as well, is that you can utilize all your brilliant technique. | |
| Like yes, technique beats size and strength. | |
| It does. | |
| But if you have technique and add strength and size to that, that will be very good indeed. | |
| So I hope that cleared up that at least and gave you something to think about. | |
| And who am I? | |
| The glorious lion. | |
